A theory in theoretical physics that states the break down of elementary particles (or the standard model) into a single vibrating string of energy. These string may be open or closed and may have super symmetry or may not. String theory states that each standard particle has their own vibrating frequency.
Quantum Mechanics
A branch of Physics that deals with the behavior and compilation of atoms and particles. Quantum mechanics consists of weak/strong nuclear forces and electromagnetic forces. Quantum Mechanics states that both location and energy of a particle may not be known without a certain degree of uncertainty.
Weak Nuclear Forces
Forces that cause radiation and beta decay.
Strong Nuclear Forces
The force that keep the nucleus of an atom together instead of repelling itself.
Gravitation
Attraction between objects that have mass in a space-time geometric field.
Electromagnetic Forces
Force that comes from electric and magnetic interaction, this is carried by photons.
Elementary Particles/Standard Model
A constituent of matter, examples are: quarks, electrons, muons neutrinos, photons, and the higgs boson.
M-Theory
"Membrane" theory, the collection of the 5 most common and promising super-string theories.
Super Symmetry
A theory in which the equations for force and the equations for matter are the identical. This allows them to be interchangeable with each other and it would still give the same answer.
Space-time super-symmetry charges
In 1971 Golfand and Likhtman were the first to show that the Poincaré algebra can be extended through introduction of four anticommuting spinor generators (in four dimensions), which later became known as supercharges.
